Provide test data

[nijel]

We should provide reasonably big fixture with test data, so that new developers could trigger the performance issues and actually play with the server.

Libraries like Faker can help with that.

[nijel]

That's an interesting option. I was rather thinking about providing cleaned up real data...

http://www.generatedata.com/ is a software(Paid) but with free trial can be used to generate tons of fake data in multiple export types

[KarimMokhtar]

is the issue must solved with data generator ? or you need an already exits data?

[nijel]

We have enough of existing data in production which would have to be anonymized or generators like Faker can be used. I see no reason for using paid solutions when free exist.

Still there is some work to be done - either write tool to anonymize data we have or implement generation using Faker.
